Hydromantes, commonly referred to as web-toed salamanders, is a genus of the lungless salamander family, Plethodontidae; they achieve respiration through their skin and the tissues lining their mouth.
They are endemic to mountains of California in the United States.
[1] Salamanders of this genus are distinguished in having extremely long tongues that they can project to 80% of their body length.
[2] Similar species endemic to southern France and Italy are now classified in a distinct genus, Speleomantes.
